Synopsis
In the year 2257, humanity as we know it is challenged when an AI threat called The Avalon Republic manages to self-replicate itself. By the hand of the insane mechanical overlords, America and the other countries are put to the test as the green eyed apparatus' hack our AI powered cars and technologies, clone their mechanical militia, and lay siege to our world in their efforts to turn humans into other machines. The Fight War wages as we send forth boots on the ground with our flags swinging through the air in bulk to defend our world. The fate of all existence lies in our hands...Should we fail, all hope will be lost.
My Thoughts
I've become rather bitter with sci-fi over the years, as it used to be my favorite genre. But you can only read so many space operas and pretentious near futures before it gets to you a little.
And then you decide to give an author a go because of some weird research string you were on... and it rekindles your love of why you started reading it in the first place.
Gregory Thomas approaches sci-fi as it should be; a thought experiment. Instead of spending pages upon pages describing the minutiae of every aspect of the future, he integrates snippets of AI, machines, and does it in a way that you don't feel is droning on.
There are parts that aren't very action oriented at all, and yet, they don't drag. I have no idea how he does it and am now rather enamored with this author.
As for the book itself, it approaches more than the simple issue of clone and AI; it's almost terminator-like, with an exploration of a machines and technology in a whole.
Best book I've read in a long while.
